why is this section so dead?

Hi,

I am fairly new, gathering information on the e-bike marketplace and was really interested in possibly pursuing a copenhagen wheel project on my vintage Trek singletrack. I don't know all the background but the price of the wheel changed over the years and is now basically $1800, but it looks like a drop-in, which is certainly worth something. Performance is pretty important and price to me takes a bit of a back seat.

Are the superpedestrian users on another forum somewhere? Or is the adoption pretty slim (based on the price)?

I am curious as some of these other subsections seem pretty active, but this one... not so much.

From what I read, cost, low power, small battery, and bad customer service. But no direct experience.

I noticed the first 3 points, was not aware of the 4th.

Thanks.

Spoke breakage can be a hassle. And problems with app.

Ease of install is a poor tradeoff for high cost, limited range, low performance, and awful looks. Not to mention Apps are for buying coffee, not for running a bike.

It's everything it says in the commercials teckwise, but "flatlines" on service....

Thanks. Interesting concept, tech is possible.

Dud on business development and execution.
